Yokohama A048-R 175/50R13 Performance Tyre – Medium Compound – Classic Mini & Moke
 
For serious Classic Mini and Moke performance, the Yokohama A048-R 175/50R13 is a proven motorsport-oriented tyre designed for drivers who prioritise grip, handling and track performance.
 
Featuring a medium compound, the A048-R has long been a popular choice for competition, race and track-day Classic Minis, particularly vehicles running wider 13-inch wheels and performance suspension setups.
 
Its performance-focused construction provides excellent grip in suitable conditions, but this comes with a trade-off: compared with a conventional road tyre, the A048-R is not designed to deliver maximum tread life during everyday driving.

Race, Track & Performance Use
 
The A048-R is particularly well suited to Classic Minis prepared for:
Track days
Motorsport and competition
Performance driving
Modified road cars
Wide-wheel and Sportpack-style builds
 
Its performance-oriented compound prioritises traction and handling rather than maximum mileage.
 
For Regular Daily Driving
If your Classic Mini is primarily used for normal road driving and everyday motoring, the Yokohama A539 is generally a more appropriate choice where available in the required size.
 
The A539 is better suited to general road use where tread life, everyday drivability and all-round performance are greater priorities.
 
Important Fitment Information
The 175/50R13 size is typically used with wider 13-inch Classic Mini wheel configurations.
Depending on your vehicle, appropriate wide/Sportpack-style wheel arches, wheel offset, suspension setup and body clearance may be required.
 
Always confirm tyre-to-body, suspension and steering clearance before installation.
 
Please Note
Price is for ONE tyre only unless otherwise stated.
 
For road use, always confirm that the tyre specification and approval markings are appropriate for your vehicle and applicable Australian road regulations.
